'Lipstick & Liquor' explores the secret in the suburbs. A growing number of women are abusing alcohol and becoming alcohol dependent.

Yet, if you were to ask a woman’s friends and family if she has a drinking problem, they might very well say no. The reason? Women are more likely to drink alone and to hide it. Their problem is less likely to be recognized by a doctor and more likely to reach advanced stages before it’s discovered.
